Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I helped a client gain 100% property division in a divorce.

How did you build a successful practice?

I communicate very frequently with all my clients so that they know I am diligently working their case.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

If they haven't heard from their lawyer in a long time, they are probably being ignored. Also, if the judge rules against a client in early proceedings, they need to replace their lawyer to avoid a total loss of the case.

Sometimes I am able to completely resolve the entire case in one phone call.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

I need clients to be open and share all information requested during the phone call.

I enjoy going to the beach and experiencing Hawaii's beauty.

Are you involved in your community?

I am involved in projects to help small businesses receive support to grow and become successful.
